Comment And yet, everybody is okay with the Bidens? (Score 1) 201

Because doesn't everybody have 22 LLCs that do nothing but transfer between one another in a plainly obvious money laundering operation?

Hunter Biden was paid approximately $83,333 a month (roughly $1 million a year) while serving on the board of the Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma Holdings starting in 2014. This in spite of the fact that Hunter did not speak the language, knew nothing about the business, and did not do any work.

And now all that money has mysteriously vanished, and Hunter cannot pay child support.

Joe Biden is on video openly bragging about how he used his clout as vice president to extort Ukraine. Any chance that Biden and Obama had anything to do the present Ukraine situation? Like putting Zelensky in charge?

What about Hillary selling US Uranium $140 million? I guess that is no problem, because it's okay when we do it.

Comment Our gov officials have been doing this for ages (Score 1) 201

Ever notice how people with no great finance background, get elected to congress, and all of the sudden they're making four million a year on their investments? And if it's not congress, it's some other government office - elected or not.
They also tend to get ridiculous book deals, or Netflix deals.

Go ahead and get angry at Trump. But please recognize this is bipartisan, and has been going on for ages - and not in any small way.

Critics argue the service could let President Trump, who owns about 41% of the company, profit from early access to market-moving presidential communications.

Taking out the parenthetical aside ",who owns 41% of the company," you get this:

Critics argue the service could let President Trump profit from early access to market-moving presidential communications.

How does this give President Trump "early access" to presidential communications? Doesn't all Presidential communication originate form him?

I suspect you meant customers will benefit from early access to presidential communication, but the difference will be trivial:

giving trading firms machine-readable access to Truth Social posts milliseconds before the public.

Milliseconds. To a rambling text message. Not actionable stock trades.

Once again this is one of those cases where antitrust law enforcement would have protected your hobby.

Antitrust?

Is EA a monopoly?

Is changing owners really that nefarious?

Seems like a real over-reaction, what pretext is there for the DOJ to try and block a private sale of EA to a consortium that includes an investor (Saudi Sovereign fund) that had $20BN invested?

I think if you're asking why they'd do extra work to get rid of Windows 11, then you probably haven't been paying attention to what Windows 11 is and what it's been doing -- and often, what it's been not doing, like "working".

Oddly, 80%+ of corporate users somehow manage to get work done in the windows environment day in and day out...

The most frequent comment I hear from non-technical users is "it's $150 and it comes with Win 11!, not I wonder if Linux will run on it?

I just checked, and it's 2:17AM in Seoul. It's 86F with 85% humidity! Heat index is currently at 103F, at fucking 2AM.

That's just a middling summer day in New Orleans.

Bump that humidity up a bit and then you get closer to common average days here in summer.

Mind you, my AC turns on basically end of April and usually is on till first part of November.
